Peter, in chapter 5, verse 12, says: "I have written briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is THE TRUE GRACE OF GOD wherein ye stand." The true grace of God is defined in this first epistle of Peter (as well as all scripture). The true grace of God as opposed to what men say grace is. True Grace is not an 'offer' of God to man, but an 'act' of God for His elect and in His elect. True grace is defined here; the true grace of God wherein every elect, redeemed sinner stands complete before God, in Christ. |
